OCHIAI Yoichi Presents "Forging Lives"
Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan
Signature Pavilion
― Unknown landscapes ―
Transforming sculptures that warp the landscape.
Making visiting
physical places a valuable experience. An interactive monument unknown to
humankind.
Using the freedom offered
by digital technology, it brings harmony between nature and humans while
converting the landscape.
This project
aims to bring about progress in architecture and interactive technology that can
only be achieved in a major
global event held only once every few years.
― Unknown experience ―
Digital body-based infinity mirror.
Visitors’ bodies are digitalised,
and they will interact with their digitalised bodies that transform organically
and move autonomously within the
pavilion.
The first ever rediscovery of the mirror in recorded history.
